The cards won't be handed out during matches, as that would alter the rules of the game. Instead, the referee and assistants will decide who to reward after matches—whether it's players on the pitch or bench, or even coaches.

"It's up to the referee," Abodi said. "But they have to be extraordinary acts, not ordinary ones."

At the end of the season, players or coaches with the most green cards will be rewarded.

"It's a symbolic award," Abodi said, explaining that the initiative is in the final phase of development. "It could be something very simple. The important thing is to recognize it when a professional does something exemplary."

One clear way to gain a green card would be to admit to a hand ball, or give away a corner kick for an incorrect call.
Nice touch?

Like some sort of good sportsmanship award to go with the MOTM award?

Lol no ones gonna do that unless they were comfortably winning a game. The game is all about money and to do that you need to win.

Allowing any Tom, Dick or Harry who happen to play a fair game of football to have permanent UK residence is a stupid idea.

Seems a bit pointless really.
"Well done for not cheating lad".

Maybe if it had some kind of actual applicable benefit, like 5 greens recind a yellow or something, but that'd open up a can of worms then for players not ending up with suspensions thanks to green card happy refs and such.

It's a nice idea in theory but utterly pointless tbh. If anything, suspensions for gathering yellows should be reviewed if some of those yellows have been harshly/incorrectly issued out.

Hmm, how about if you get a green card then you can have a harsh yellow card reviewed?
